Information on DVD recording (cont'd)
Restrictions on recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this
unit. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is encountered during a
recording, recording will pause or stop automatically
and an error message will be displayed on the screen.
Video that is "copy-once only" can only be recorded
using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see
below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an
external input, you can display copy control
information on the screen.
What is "CPRM"?
CPRM is a copy protection system with
scramble system regarding the recording of
"copy-once" broadcast programs. CPRM stands
for Content Protection for Recordable Media.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs,
but you cannot then make a copy of those
recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made
on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and
CPRM recordings can only be played on DVD
players that are specifically compatible with
CPRM.
Information on copy control
Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected
information. For recording these, refer to the
